A Memory Quilt

Happy Wednesday Lovelies!

Yesterday, I told you about Making Strides

Against Breast Cancer, a charity walk

to create awareness and to raise funds.

Being part of the walk on that beautiful Sunday,

the atmosphere was upbeat and everyone

was enthusiastic to walk for their loved

ones battling the disease.

One of the things that captured my attention

was this memory quilt near the starting line:

Each square is dedicated to a memory of

a beloved family member/friend.

Some squares also celebrate survival.

I think this is one TADA! craft to make and give away

for any reason at all -- to show support during a

difficult time or to commemorate a

big birthday or anniversary.

The lucky recipient can hang it on a wall,

lay it on their bed, use it as a throw.

Every time they see it, they know

they are loved.

Here's a TADA! way to go about it: Buy some

fabric and cut it into squares. Give a fabric

square to family members & friends.

Have them decorate these with more

cloth, ribbon embroidery, fabric pens

or iron-on transfers/photos.

Collect the squares and sew them

into a most thoughtful quilt.

TADA!
